How johnquail started their logo design journey

Summary

Company name

claim.com

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

I currently run http://www.claims4free.co.uk. I like this site design (I just recently got the site redesigned), and so the design for claim.com will eventually look in a similar, but the logo is just isnt unique. I dont just want a font as a logo, I need something that little bit different to set it apart.

I like the simple changes in the skype logo, along with several other web2.0 style logos. I also like the subtle use of gradient in the skype logo.

I'll try to give more general advice as the contest runs on and I see what direction the designs are taking.

*************New notes

- Please keep all the letters in lowercase.

- Although I like the font used in the claims4free logo, I'd love to see other variations of less used fonts.

I've jsut upgraded the guaranteed prize to $1,000!

I will also seriously consider working out deals with other logos that I like but that didn't win at the end of the contest! So you have even more chance for a prize!
